...bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. At least two billion people worldwide have been exposed to the bacteria, although only some of the exposed develop the disease. One reason TB has become so widespread is the bacteria’s ability to resist drug treatment. This project hopes to act as a model for future research on the disease, Murray said. To this end, she and her team decided to make their genetic data available online. “This is a big step forward,†Murray said. “We are trying to detect mutations that allow organisms...
...been observed, said Aviv Regev, a member of the Broad Institute and an assistant professor of biology at MIT. “The parasite is doing a lot more in the host than in lab culture†Regev said. The authors then took data from yeast, a model organism whose genome has been studied extensively, and looked for similar gene expression patterns. They found that the first group of parasites corresponded to yeast flourishing in optimal conditions like those grown in culture, the second corresponded to the starvation-response group, and the third corresponded to the stress-response group...
...Troudi formulates socialist strategies that actually get put into practice. Some of them, like an epic campaign to create "socially oriented" industrial cooperative factories, will be put to a national referendum this Sunday, when Venezuelans vote on a raft of constitutional reforms that Chavez says will create a model of "21st-century socialism." From his offices inside a tower in the capital's Parque Central complex, once one of the country's capitalist nerve centers, El Troudi boasts, "Our revolutionary process is at a point of no return...
